So, my town has chosen a smoking ban for all public facilities, with only a short list exceptions. I am so sick and tired of my human rights dwindling down, I am tired. I can’t apprehend the reason non-smokers have such a sharp personal opinion on what us smokers want to do. Everyone knows that smoking is harmful, but I made a conscience decision when I began smoking, alert to the fact it was unhealthy. Just because non-smokers want me to cease, doesn’t mean that it will happen. Smoking in restaurants has been a privilage, but most restaurants include a approved smoking room. If non-smokers don’t want to inhale the smoke, don’t sit in the smoking room, you are not unwilling made to sit in the smoking section. And as well as the workers of these bars that comment they are tortured by second hand smoke, I don’t believe it. I worked in the service industry for over 10 years, and I know that the majority of thefellow workers were smokers. Interacting with the public, always, drives you to smoke. Personally, I have never heard one non-smoking co-worker ever protest about cigarette smoke while at work in the smoking room. Putting a smoking prohibition in restaurants and bars, can only save me money, for I won’t eat out after the January 1st.
